Installiing Access 97 with Office 2000

I have made several attempts at installing Access 97 onto a machine with Office 2000 installed. Each time I complete the install the Access program gives an error which states “Can’t find the database you specified, or you didn’t specify a databaseat all”. All I want to do is open the Access 97 program. I believe I am installing it the wrong way, can anyone give me a tip on how to make Access “Play Nice” with Office 2000.
